From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Waydroid and the DRM issue | How to play DRM protected videos on Waydroid? (lemmy.ml)

I managed to install waydroid after a long and rather stressful installation process, but now that I have installed it, I am realizing that since Waydroid doesn't come with DRM software (or malware) installed with it, it won't play no videos, which is one of the reasons I installed it. Is there a way I can run drm protected videos on Wayland?

Also, what's the likelihood that when I install drm and try to play it, it would just disappear since it is not technically a phone?

If Widevine DRM works, it shouldn't make a difference that it technically isn't a phone.

I've found a project [1] which has a script to support Widevine L3, but idk how well it works.

Generally using other means (arr*) to access videos and store them on hardware is my preferred way now because of quality issues with DRM protected content. Altough depending on what you want to play it's not an option.
